An exclusive college desires to accept only the top 8% of all graduating seniors

based on the results of a national placement test. This test has a mean of 700 and
a standard deviation of 125. Assume test scores are normally distributed.
Find the cutoff score for the exam.

Given Data:
Mean = 700
Standard Deviation = 125
Area for top 8% = 0.92
To get the cut-off score use invNorm function in the TI-84 calculator.
invNorm(0.92,700,125) = 875.6339 or 876
The cut-off score is 876.

Given Data:
Mean = 120
Standard Deviation = 8
Area for upper reading = 0.95
Area for lower reading = 0.05
To get the readings use invNorm function in the TI-84 calculator.
invNorm(0.95,120,8) = 133.1588 or 133
invNorm(0.05,120,8) = 106.8412 or 107

Given Data:
Mean = 134
Standard Deviation = 23
Area for best 22% = 0.78
To get the cut-off use invNorm function in the TI-84 calculator.
invNorm(0.78,134,23) = 151.7604 or 152
The cut-off is 152.
Given Data:
Mean = 25 min.

Standard Deviation = 4.5 min.

Total number of calls randomly selected = 150
Responded calls >= 20 min.
To get the probable number of calls use the cumulative probability function
normalcdf in TI-84 Calculator
Normalcdf(0,20,25,4.5) = 0.13326
Since the total number of calls is 150
0.13326 x 150 = 19.989 or 20 calls

Given Data:
Mean = 28
Standard Deviation = 2
a) Garbage >= 32.5 pounds
To get the probability use the cumulative probability function normalcdf in TI-84
Calculator
Normalcdf(32.5,99999999,28,2) = 0.0122244

b) 23 pounds <= Garbage <= 31 pounds

To get the probability use the cumulative probability function normalcdf in TI-84
Calculator
Normalcdf(23,31,28,2) = 0.926983

To get 95% of area in the middle, we have to set the upper boundary as 0.975 and
the lower boundary as 0.025
We use the invNorm function with Mean = 0 and Standard Deviation = 1

invNorm(0.975,0,1) = 1.96
invNorm(0.025,0,1) = -1.96
Attached is the area graph.

To get 95% of area to the right, we have to set the boundary as 0.95
We use the invNorm function with Mean = 0 and Standard Deviation = 1
invNorm(0.95,0,1) = 1.645

To get the respective areas to the right/left/between, we have to set the boundaries
We use the normalcdf function with Mean = 0 and Standard Deviation = 1
1. Normalcdf(-10,2.34,0,1) = 0.9904
2. Normalcdf(3.04,10,0,1) = 0.0012
3. Normalcdf(0.43,2.68,0,1) = 0.3299
4. Normalcdf(-2.48,1.90,0,1) = 0.9647
